I can see some uses for such a program. (Notably that KV fella that spammed Fido recently deserves getting a few anonymous hate mails.) However personally I'd rather not tell "the masses" how to get it either. There are also anonymous mail resenders, and some ISP operators have that same ability without the program. I can see the possibilities even without it... So you hang out here too Bob... Geezzz, small world... :-} But I see that Frank Ramsey (Sp?)

The only thing I know how do is, QF>install System Commander(It load up NT on the menu screen). Win95 will need its startup files (IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS) on the C:\ partition... the actual \WINDOWS folder can be on any drive you want. Prior to installing Win95, run the NT Emergency Repair disk program (Start/Run/RDISK.EXE) to create up-to-date emergency repair disk... use these after installing W95 to update your system. Afterwards, you may want to edit the hidden C:\BOOT.INI file, to make sure that WIN95 is listed as a boot option... here's how mine reads: [boot loader] timeout=5 default=C:\ [Operating Systems] C:\="Windows 95" multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00" multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos If these don't work, you may need to reinstall NT to enable multiboot.
